So this weekend was the big BYU/USU football game. I am a huge BYU fan as most of you know. Come on, my first outing was to a BYU football game. We did line in Logan for two and a hlaf years, cheering on the Aggies. So when this game came Brookelyn was saying Go Aggies! While mom was trying to teach her Go Cougars!! Much to Arik's happiness she would not waiver and cheered for the Aggies. We had to wear our game day stuff. Arik and the girls wore USU shirts while I sported my BYU shirt.

Every time Arik looks at the girls he shakes his head mutters that he is in big trouble in a few years when the girls are interested in the boys.


My brother came down for the weekend from BYUI. On Sunday we took him home. This was the scene in the back of the car.

So while in Rexburg we decided to tour around our old stomping ground and see how much it has changed in the past 3 years. Here is Kira on a tree out in front of Garrett's apartment.

Here is the scoreboard in the stadium. Yep, they still have the stadium even though they do not have sports there right now. They took out the grass and put in astroturf. If you had seen the field, it had a hill in the middle so that the rain and snow would roll off into the drains. Now the field is flat and feels so nice to walk on.

Here are three of the four Bowen clan. The three that attended this great school!!!

Here is the dorm that I spent the first 18 months of my life. Brookelyn was so cute in front of it that I had to take a picture. Maybe this is a sign of things to come in 16 years.

There are gardens on campus that many use as a makeout area but during the day are pretty. They have done a lot of landscaping and it really is gorgeous. Kira tried with all her might to reach over and touch the water. From the back it was cute watching her on her tippy toes.

Two peas in a pod.

I think that this picture is so cute. I love my girlies so very much.

My grandma sent the girls purses. For those of you that know me, know that I do not have a purse. Brookelyn loves hers and carried all around campus. She carried Kira's too.

So here we are running on the new painted track that circles the football at the stadium. Brookelyn actually ran around a lot of the track trying to chase Garrett. she didn't stop running til she got back to us. Our legs were hurting for her.

Here are my very cute girlies. How can you resist them?

Here is our beloved family.

We had a great time. We were able to visit old friends and see how everything has changed so much. I am grateful for the chance I had to go that school and to see everything. It was great and if I hadn't of gone there I never would have met my eternal companion or had the beautiful girls I have.

Oh I miss BYU-I! I wish we were close enought that we could go an tour it too with our girls and take cute pictures too. Every time I hear of someone going there I think (1) freashmen are getting younger and younger and (2) that was a fun time in my life! I hope Garret is having a blast. You have to watch out for those kids...I know Haylie can run and run and I think about how far it must be for her little legs and I am shocked everytime. I keep telling Phil he better do better about working out or she will be able to out do him really soon!
